CORONAVIRUS: ENGLISH VARIANT, now INTEGRAL CLOSURE and NO REOPENING OF SCHOOLS, prof. RICCIARDI
Walter RICCIARDI asks for an immediate LOCKDOWN at least until mid-JanuaryThe news of one CORONAVIRUS VARIANT in Britain it has made experts, including epidemiologists and virologists, open their eyes. Among these we find Walter Ricciardi, advisor to the Ministry of Health, who in an interview with “A day of the sheep”, asked a “immediate lockAll the more so now that the Sars-Cov-2 variant exploded in Britain accelerates the spread of the infection across Europe. And under these conditions “it is difficult to reopen” the attendance school as of January 7. “
That the english variant came “it was predictable”, specified the scientist. “Unfortunately, the British government warned late and this is not pleasant”, added. Ricciardi had something else in mind for Christmas: “I would have taken longer-term measures on the model of Germany and Austria because those taken are not enough.”
In the radio broadcast, Minister Speranza’s advisor revealed his total alignment with the positions of the head of the dicastery, leader of the most rigorous current of the Conte government: “I’d do a lockdown from now until mid-January“. The accounts are done quickly: “We reasoned by analogy: if before we had a lower number of cases to lower them it took us two months, now with a higher number we have to use a similar period.
As for prevention, the doctor agrees with the scientists. The English variant of Sars-Cov-2 “It does not appear to compromise the protective capacity of vaccines and, even if these mutations are in nearby areas or even in the Spike protein itself, the ability of the the vaccine to recognize the protein remains essentially unchanged“. In short, what seemed like a new sudden fear seems to have subsided, in part.
